THE STATES LOSS OF TAXES.

sessed before, and the Henderson bridge, now
two years old. goes in the tax duplicate this
year for the first time. The Indiana and Ken
lucky bridge also has never been assessed be-
fore. The State has for years been losing at
least half of the $500 900 added to the tax
duplica'e by the assessment on these bridges
this year.

Mr.. Patterson had done the work himself, and
the board refused to recognize it.
